Ruroni Kenshin

Possibly the best Samurai ever... why isn't this guy already up in this section?

Anime is a lot like sex. Done right it's a beautiful act of creation that brings a little more light into the world. If it's sick and wrong... it's even better.

Thank you.

I actually think the manga did the whole Kenshin story the best. It was in line with everything and it came out before the anime anyway. lol.

Re: Ruroni Kenshin

Rurouni Kenshin has been sitting atop my top five manga list for a long long time and it has yet to be in danger of getting kicked from it. I have only seen the anime up to the end of his battle with Shishio so I can't really say much about the rest of the series, but what I have seen was amazing and provided me with a very good "Super hero" to look up to as a child and young man. Still looking to own my own sakabatou

Re: Ruroni Kenshin

@Kagome Actually, up through the Shishio arc the anime was pretty accurate. Minus the little kids. But they weren't a bad addition. Shame they never did the Jinchu arc since that really gave some insight into Kenshin along with a massive blow to Kenshin.

Re: Ruroni Kenshin

Kenchin and characters like him are why I prefer antiheroes. They don't whine.

Re: Ruroni Kenshin

Trust & Betrayal, one of my all-time favorites. I didn't get too far into the anime or manga because i prefer the darker, more brutal incarnation of Kenshin in T&B. no "oro" to be had, just a lot of drama, gore and mutilations. the art style is also much darker and more detailed in T&B. after seeing T&B, i doubt i could get any farther into the series and manga.

That's because that OAV was based on the second half of the manga where Kenshin remembered about being the Boatousai, and not the Rurouni he became after to make up for what he ahd done during the Bakamatsu. Where we learned of Tomoe and Enishi.

if you're saying the manga gets more like trust and betrayal during the second half, i may have to dip back in.
